The lesson was about integrity, which she already had. The other thing was just a call back. Really as others have said, it was more of a lesson for Ponyville rather than the mane 6.

But it isn't the same in America nor Canada to my knowledge. Though the knowledge of cider being possibly alcoholic is there for most people, it isn't the inclination to assume it in this instance. Though they did allude to it being addictive. I mean, just LOOK at that queue. Man the Apple family makes some really addictive products... First the Zap Apple Jam and now this? You know what? Screw the alcohol, they put straight up drugs in their product to build dependence!

Perhaps this was the first year that they had that close knit friends that were willing to help them and it never occurred to them to ask. I could so see a return down the line where they go to twilight and the gang to help in such a situation or even the next year. If money was that tight with them they perhaps couldn't afford to hire extra help.

You come in peace? Well live long and prosper my friend! Welcome to Canterlot, and believe me many people's situation of getting into the fandom is the sane as yours. There is just something about the show. I hope you enjoy yourself in this lovely community we have here.

I think you has "the talent." That is pretty amazing for someone who hasn't done it in years and has had no formal training. Fact: you are better than one of my friends who went to a top art college for animation and lived and breathed art for 4 years.

I think because by the end they had made so many bad barrels they were unable to discern the good from the bad. I have to say, I wish there would have been an after scene with celestia reading that letter. That has to be my favorite letter to celestia yet.

In my head, it is quite simple... My favorite music is "good" music and my least favorite music is "bad" music. I don't even consider genre in my head.... I know what I like and it is as simple as that. Now to complicate things, people don't accept that, saying its too subjective and that I need to be more objective (I think they are jealous over the simplicity of my system), so I shall attempt to convey my standards. To start I don't discriminate on genre or country of origin, be it classical, electronica, rock, hard core, metal, punk, jazz, blues, country, rap... (you get the idea) All is fair game. My biggest requirement for liking music is talent. I do prefer the presence of instruments, but my interest in electronica has lessened that requirement. Creativity is another, chances are if I feel like I have listened to the song before but know it isn't the same one (so not a cover or a remix), I won't like it. Now the country thing is interesting for me, I don't have to be able to understand the lyrics to enjoy the music. It is my belief that vocals are an instrument all their own able to convey emoting and meaning without words being understood. That said, anything that clouds the voice's ability to convey said emotions annoys me (ie autotune). Hm what else... I'm very picky with rap and related music. I can't say that I absolutely hate it, because I have liked rap, and think some is rather moving and meaningful. But most modern popular rap, I loathe. I am not that into the underground scene, but my friend has shown me some tracks that I have enjoyed. A few of my current producing favorite artists are Stevie Salas, Steve Vai, B'z (japanese), Hiromi (Japanese as well, but lack of vocals make that moot), Larry Carlton and Wayne Krantz.

Yeah I'm going to wait a bit to see how finances are, but I'm almost certainly going if only for John and Lauren. I mean you don't even have to like mlp to appreciate those two.

I think I qualify as one of those stallions . And in all technicality all I'd need to do is do my bangs and I could easily make my hair like AJ. I would not do such a thing though. I like my hair the way it is, and until I join the military I won't be making any drastic changes.

Eccleson had the best season. There wasn't a bad episode in the bunch. Tom Baker is my favorite though overall. I also liked Colin Baker and thought it a shame the writing sucked during his time as the doctor.

My friend did that though... granted she didn't have all the colors, but she did have most and it looked pretty hot on her. I would try to find a pic of her when she had it, but I feel like it would impede on her privacy.

I'm starting to think there is a correlation between choosing the two... Cerrychanga begets a choice in Kumquat and Chimicherry begets choice in picklebarrel. This is just an assumption though based on responses here and my own choice (also cherrychanga and kumquat btw ) Would make sense since they are almost identical too... If I had the materials I'd totally try making a cherrychanga too... looks delicious. (This is despite the fact that I suck at cooking)

I would lol so hard at that. Let's get Atlus and Hasbro talking now!

It is second for me, right behind MegaTen.

I agree with weesh here. And you have obviously not been or known a grad student on a deadline. Twilight's reaction that entire episode looked to me how a college student who has a very prestigious mentor, whom she has never disappointed before, would react if she failed to deliver for the first time ever, because when your mentor is that prestigious there is always someone behind you waiting for you to fail and take your place. That is how I saw it at least. And yeah, people swear to the highest power or anything that is sufficient in their mind to swear upon (parent's graves are popular).

This was easy for me. What shocks me is how close the two are.

This is good news as I'm on the fence on doing rp. Now that I know this I might give it a shot if time permits during classes. I already have a rough idea for a character... I just suck as design... I'll figure something out.

What EoL said! Well at least we know who to go to with ideas and suggestions now . This is normally where I say welcome to the herd, but I don't feel right doing it. And now I'm going to try compiling the list of possible people whom your father can be and then see if there is enough info to deduce whom he is. To IMDB and Wikipedia! *1960s Batman scene change music plays* Got it, thank you IMDB! Please give Mr Ridd Sorensen our regards and thanks for working on this show.

I'm assuming that Discord did not care to affect Spike. He was directly threatened by Twilight, and was playing games with her. He didn't need to affect her assistant, only her so that the elements of harmony would be rendered useless. Either that or he was cocky and thought he could get away with not doing anything to Spike despite being so close to her and being able to help her.

Touche. Well played. Though lesson zero was her tending to get duties, specifically the looking after her protegee. Luna can't do that so celestia gets a pass with that one IMO. The rest, I can only theorize against, we don't know enough, except for the gala thing.

I don't think she'll ever step down... now a vacation on the other hand... yeah twilight will rule then. I mean Celestia hasn't had a break in over 1000 years, I think she is long overdue.

This is an awesome thread. I admit to thinking, but writing off many of the same questions your wife has. I write them off because... well... Magical Ponies. Seriously logic does not exist... Everfree forest = unnatural for being self-sufficient. I try to not apply logic to this show... But it is still hilarious to read. BTW, I honestly think that Princess Celestia plans a lot, but not to be mean spirited. She is Twilight's mentor. She probably designs a lot of the tasks to teach her. She isn't all knowing, but she knows more than she lets on, allowing Twilight to figure things out for herself and learn in the process.

There seems to be a recent influx of nerdponies. This is AWESOME! Welcome to the herd brother.

Another whovian?! SCORE! Welcome to Canterlot!

This is true too. Tusks tend to be more for damage than horns are. We can assume Unicorn horns are the same as other horns in the animal kingdom.
